fled February 10, 11919. Application-for nism. Fig. 8 is a cross section taken on the line 8 8 of Fig. 3. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of one corner of said device showing the means for supporting the paste pan therein. Fig. 10 is an enlarged sectional view of the paste spreading mechanism and the mounting therefor.

In the drawings there is shown a table 10 upon which wall paper is pasted, cut and folded, and horses 11 for en orting the same. Secured at one end of se d table thereis a bracket 12 braced by a brace 13, in which is secured a sheet metal housing member-14. Extending downwardly from the lower portion of the bracket 12 there is a bracket 15 for supporting alamp or burner 16 directly under said housing member for heatin the contents thereof. Ittinervabiy and ag'ustably contained in said housing member, there is a paste container 17 which is adapted to set within water as shown at 18 which is kept heated by the lamp 16, so as to keep the paste heated duringthe operation of the applying mechanism The paste container 17 is adjustably and remov ably secured within said housing member by the arms-19 pivoted thereon and having a projection extending outwardly therefrom adapted to passthrough the slot 20 in the side of the-housing and drop into and be supported within the downwardly extending sue thereof. This construction is such that when it is desired to remove the container from the housing the supportin members may be turned inwardly and out engagement with the slot 20. This adjustable hanger for the paste container 17 is such that the container be elevated or lowered according to the d th of paste therein, whereby the paste b ma extend completel to the bottom therco, cleaning out all t e paste contained therein.

Adjustablysecured within the housin 141 there is a paste applying rolhrv bru'sfi 21 which is supported at one end by the adjustable bracket and bearing fill-and the other end b the bearing 23 at which" end there is a veled gear 24 secured to the shaftthereof. Supported parallel and adjaeent to the roller brush 21 .there'is :1 cylindrical wood roller 25 which is supported in position by the arm 26 on each end thereof having bearings on one end through which the shaft 27 extends, and. pivoted at their other end to the end portion of said and a thumb piece 111 for removin housin whereby the roller 25 maybe lifted upward y about the pivot point 28 to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5 for enabling the contents of the housing to be removed therefrom or the pa er to be threaded between said rollers. cured to one end of the shaft 27 there is a beveled gear 29 adapted to mesh with the beveled gear 30 which is secured to a shaft 31 supported by the bracket 32, said shaft 31 being rigidly secured to the beveled gear 33 in position to mesh 'with and drive the gear 24 and roller brush 21.

As it is desirable for the rollers 21 and 25.to be adjustable with relation to each other, I have provided the adjustable support 22 for one end of the roller 21 and an adjustable means on the driving mechanism at the other end of said roller. This is accomplished by keying the glear 30 on the shaft31 so as to be slidable ongitudinalliy thereon and an adjustable collar 34 for a justing the gear 30. By means of this construction the rollers are adjustable with relation to each other while the beveled gears driven by the same shaft will remain in mesh with the beveled gears of such roller. Pivotally mounted at 28, there is a paste spreading member 35 extending to approximately the surface of the roller 25 and having a rubber edge 109 extending the entire length of said roller for engaging the surface thereof and removing any surplus of paste. Said paste remover has a spring 110 for holding it in contact with said rol it therefrom when through the device.

The tablelO may be provided along one edge thereof with a ruler 40 by means of which thepaper may be measured as it is pulled through the machine. Embedded e paper is threade in the end of the table, there is a metal plate 41 ruled cross-wise of said table. On the under edge of said plate 41 and at measured distances there are a plurality of notches or indentations 42. The paper to be pasted is contained in a roll 43 which is removably supported upon the pins 44 and 45 secured in the bracket 46 on the side of the housing member 14. The pin 45 is adjustably fitted in the bracket and held against the paper roll under the tension of the spring 47, whereby rolls of various lerigths may be supported on said'pin and he in one given position relative to the mechanism, and be readily removed and'replaced thereon. A cross bar 48 is secured to the end of the table so as to support a sliding sleeve 49 which is integral with a pair of roller scissors 50 for cutting the paper longitudinally as it is pulled past or between said scissors. Integral with the bearing 49 there is a' tail piece 51 adapted to engage the notches 42 according to the width of the paper to be cut, and is held in said notches by a spring 52. until moved by hand to some other cutting width.

The invention claimed is:

1. A paste applying mechanism, including a paste containing receptacle, a rotary member mounted in said receptacle adapted to. engage said paste for applying it to the material as it is drawn throu b said mechanism, a roller about which sai material is drawn adapted to cause it to be engaged by said member, and a. set of gears ad ustably mounted for connecting said member to said roller, wl. reb said member is caused to rotate the c-Wit 2. A paste applying mechanism, including a housing, a aste containing receptacle supported in sai housing, a rotary memvber mounted in said housing adapted to ening a housing member, a aste containing receptacle supported in sai housing member, a rotary member mounted in said housing member, adapted to engage said paste for applying it to the material as it is drawn throng said mechanimn, a .roller about which said material is drawn adapted to cause it to be engaged by said member, means for e aging the material as it passes over said ro er for removing surplus paste therefrom, a set of gears connecting said rotatin member and said roller, and means for ad usting said other as the roller an member are adjusted. 4. A paste applying mechanism, includ: ing a housing member, a paste containing receptacle supported within said member, a paste applying rotary member adapted to engage said paste for applying ittothe materi as it is drawn through said mechanism, a cylinder supported so asto e e said member about which said material is drawn, and means for permitting said cylinder to be elevated out of said housing member, so that the contents thereof may be removable or "the paper threaded about said cylinder. 5. A paste applying mechanism, includng a housing, a paste containing receptacle in said housi a rotary paste applying member adap to have its periphery immersed in paste, aper carrying roller mounted ad acentsai member for causin the paper to be engaged by said member an receive a coating of paste thereover, and means for adjusting said roller and receptacle within said housing.

6. In a pasting machine the combination are relative to each with a paste receptacle, a paste applyi roller dotachabl and adjustably ition 7. In a paste applying machine, the combination with a housing, a detachable paste receptacle supported thereby, :dpaste applying roller detachably position in said receptmcle and substantially closing the same,

and paste applying mechanism associated with said paste applying roller and above the same, of means tiltably sup rting said paste applying mechanism in e paste a plying position, said paste applying mec anism being tiltable to the non-pasting position to permit access to said roller and to said receptacle, said roller being removable from sai receptacle to rmit access thereto, and said receptacle being removable from said housing.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at the city of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, this twentieth day of February, 1922.
